Strange Bedfellows
Every morning, I wake up in bed with 3 guys, a girl, one turtle and several rabbits. Far from a sordid arrangement, the reality is closer to a cramped and sometimes stinky circus that includes me, my husband, our toddler and dogs, along with a few of my son’s current favorite stuffed animals. We never planned… Read More Strange Bedfellows

The Three-day Potty Training Method
What the book says: Potty training can be crappy. But it doesn’t have to be. Reality: Crap. Everywhere. What the book says: It will be fun. It will be worth it. It’s only 3 days, you’ve got this!

Is this something I am proud of, no, but is it something that I allow… Read More A Day in the Life of a Fat Person

A Day in the Life of a Working Mother: Jillian
So, the last time I did an “A Day in the Life” blog for CTWorkingMoms, my son was 2 and I was 8 months pregnant. That was 2012. Now, my daughter is about to turn 5 and my son is 7 going on 8.
